UI/UX Designer
Hi, I’m Emily! I'm a UI/UX designer at the University of Maryland, College Park studying Information Science as a third-year undergraduate student. I’m interested in user-centered design and human-computer interaction. As my passion and drive for learning accelerates me through design clubs, hackathons, and volunteering my skills for new projects, I aim to create empathetic and empowering products that alleviate societal problems and prioritize both user and business goals.
